I used to have a sunburst T-100 "Slim Jim" (basically a Starfire III with a single Franz soapbar and "harp" tailpiece) but sold it to a friend, who subsequently peddled it to another (mutual) friend. I've made a couple of half-hearted attempts to buy it back, but can't seem to pry his grubby fingers off it.

Mine had the "open-book" headstock like yours but with the "Guild"inlaid (instead of painted) and a chesterfield as well. So I'm guessing it was of early-to-mid '60s vintage since it has the older headstock shape. Open-backed tuners. It has also lost some finish, especially where the back and sides are joined. There is binding where the top and sides meet, but not in back.
